SuSE 9.1 Issue's And Praise
by Chad Whiting 14 May '04

14 May '04

Hello everyone, Well, just got 9.1 and installed it. Everything works awesome except two things. Need to get a real copy of Xine working so I can actually play dvd's, and I am having an issue with the hp-officejet drivers. I am going to try disabling the usblp module in the /etc/hotplug/blacklist and see what happens here. Does anyone know if this works? The scanning works fantastic! but when I tried to use YAST to set up a printer with the URI: setup option it kept telling me that I could not test the printing because I was using a different print Q? I used the ptal-cups to see what the device name should be and I entered ptal:/mlc:usb:HP2175 as the URI. Is that a correct URI? Cups is installed and is the default print Q. YAST keeps seeing the printer on /usb/lp0 which is why i'm going to try and disable usblp. Funny thing is: It will print the test pages if you do a standard setup with the detected /usb/lp0, but will subsequently not print through anything. This is not the way the hp-officejet documentation say's to do it anyhow, and I cannot get into the cups web administration interface after I click on add printer, it prompts for a username and password but will not accept anything as valid. This should be root for the cups web administration interface? So that is why I was trying the URI setup in YAST. Any help anyone could provide would be much appreciated as I simply need these two things and my system will be quite arguably the best Linux I have ever seen or used. Thanks in advance, Side question: Does the amd_64 kernel 2.6.X support the Ruby kernel modules from the Linux console project already, or do you have to patch and recompile to get this? Also would I have to get a different version of Xfree to support that?, Again thanks in advance. -- Chad Whiting I.T. Administrator Katecho, Inc cwhiting(a)katecho.net

Suse 9.1 64bit Install to SATA Raid (vt8327/k8t800)
by Joel Wiramu Pauling 14 May '04

14 May '04

Hi there, I'm trying to install suse 9.1 to a sata raid array. I'm using MSI Master2-Far With a Single opteron 248 and 2gb of ram. Raid array is stiped (0) and boot active. Using two hitachi 160gb drives. I tried with a 9.0 install aswell but 9.1(64bit) is giving me the same problems: Fault: Yast/parted does not detect the raid array and presents each individual 160gb drive. There is no way to group them with lvm, (lvm wizzard won't let me select them). If I have previously created a partition (for example with partionmagic which see's one 300gb drive) and set it to unformated, then parted will see this and Identify it as hda1. However any attempt to reconfigure/install/format or delete this drive fails. I have search high and low for answer to this problem. My Question is, do I need to load a kernel driver module at install (my setup requires acpi to be off during installation BTW). If so which one, and where do I specify it? Otherwise any other help is appreciated. To test if it was hardware related I installled xp pro sp1 (which required the via sata drive disk to install) and it work fine. XP is gone now and I really want my expensive new OS to work properly. AS an aside If I let yast do everything by default it partitions one of the 160gb and formats it fine and continues to install. (WHich is is doing now) However this is very slow, and considering I got nearlly 92MB/PS transfer rate to the array in a 32bit windows I doubt it's very healthy doing this. Please help soon. Kind regards Joel Wiramu Pauling New Zealand

I don't want to use it as raid! I want to use it for my cd-rw. In the bios of controller it is detected! But it isn't detected by yast or Linux! I don't know, if the drivers are ok. How can I find out?

suse 9.1 and vmware

Hello, my vmware 4.5 worked well under suse 9.0 amd64. But after the Update to suse 9.1 (uname -a:Linux sepia 2.6.4-54.3-default #1 Wed Apr 28 14:04:54 UTC 2004 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) it freeze the complete system if I power on any VM.

GA-K8VT800 Pro | IDE-Raid Controller
by Jan Hendrik Berlin 13 May '04

13 May '04

Hi @ all! I have a GA-K8VT800 Pro, and I want to use the 3th and 4th IDE conector. It can be used as a rais-controller, but I want to use it as a normal ide-controller. My problem: The bios of the controller deteced the devices! thats ok! But I can't configure the devices in yast. The main problem is, that I cant configure the controller! yast says that there is no controller, which can be configured! I think, that I need the driver! But where can I get it, and how can I install it? regards Jan

Network Browsing
by acsguy＠wtp.net 13 May '04

13 May '04

I have a new install of 9.1 for amd64 with all the patches. I was able to browse the windows network with my old 32bit 9.0 machine. On this new machine, The first time I tried to browse, I was able to see the workgroup. (I had not set anything different from default install) When I clicked on the workgroup name I got an unexpected error and was not able to see workgroup again, just kept getting network unavailable after that. I went into kcontrol and setup default username, password, workgroup, etc. I still get "network is unreachable" I tried smbclient from command line. It also said network unavailable. I looked at /etc/samba/smb.conf file and noticed the global->interfaces setting was set to 127.0.0.1 eth0. I changed this to the actual ip of the card that is connected to the windows network and then smbclient worked for accessing shares that I knew of. I then tried the network browsing again. Still same problem. I tried entering in the actual share (e.g. smb://pcname/sharename) and it DID show the contents of the share. I deleted all the settings in the kcontrol panel for network browsing. Tried the smb://pcname/sharename again, it prompted me for the login information. I gave it the correct name/password and it changed the locatoin line to smb://usrname@pcname/sharename. This gave the unexpected error again. I put the default information back in kcontrol panel and can access the share if I know the whole path. I would like to be able to browse the network. Anyone have any idea what may be the problem? I have 2 network cards in this machine. I wonder if that has something to do with the problem. Thanks in advance B-)

Error compiling QT dependant programs
by Steve Wagoner 13 May '04

13 May '04

I have the latest SUSE 9.1 x86_64 bit version installed. I am having problems compiling programs (that require kde at least). I can't configure without performing a export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3/lib64 after which configure runs fine... but at the make stage I get the following error grep: /usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.la: No such file or directory Shouldn't it be looking for the file in /usr/lib64 How can I change it so that it will use the /usr/lib64 libraries? This is my ld.so.conf... /usr/X11R6/lib64/Xaw95 /usr/X11R6/lib64/Xaw3d /usr/X11R6/lib64 /usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw95 /usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw3d /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/x86_64-suse-linux/lib64 /usr/x86_64-suse-linux/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/openwin/lib /opt/kde/lib /opt/kde2/lib /opt/kde3/lib /opt/gnome/lib /opt/gnome2/lib /lib64 /lib /usr/lib64 /usr/lib /usr/local/lib64 /usr/openwin/lib64 /opt/kde/lib64 /opt/kde2/lib64 /opt/kde3/lib64 /opt/gnome/lib64 /opt/gnome2/lib64

Hello, this seems to match my problem: The Chip is onboard of the MSI K8T Neo. It is called Promise 20378 or Promise FastTrak 378. It has 2 S-ATA ports and one Ultra ATA port. The S-ATA ports are not used. On the Ultra ATA port 2 ATA disks are attached. The mobo has the VIA K8T800 chiset with 2 S-ATA ports and 2 Ultra ATA ports. There is one S-ATA drive attached and this works fine with Suse 9.1 On the two Ultra ATA port are optical drives attached, they don't work at the Promise chip. The ATA drives at the Promise chip will not be found. I don't use a Raid. They are just used as single drives. Any help or idea? Regards, Alexander
